Airport - Asmara International Airport (IATA: ASM) (ICAO: HHAS). Asmara currently hosts the country's only operating international airport although technically there are two more in Massawa and Assab.
Shopping - Gold and silver jewellery is cheap in Asmara, definitely a bargain. So are frankincense and myrrh (if you have any use for it). Otherwise most of the souvenirs bought by tourists are the local home-spun and gold-thread embroidered cotton garments, traditional goat-skin rugs, olivewood carvings, clay coffee-pots and other traditional goods, all of which are found at the marketplace.
